If that had been one of us, we would be paying a mighty hefty fine by the time it was over and charged. The media may focus on the trauma for the daughter and her friends. Not how careless he and his daughter were for not controlling the dog.

He lost control of it and the seal was dead before he decided to pull the beast off the baby seal.

The headline makes it look like he’s a hero. He is responsible for the baby seal dying. He didn’t pull HIS dog off until the seal was dead. He didn’t even stick around to see if the seal had survived the attack. He just walked away from the scene.

I wouldn’t let this run through your mind too much. That’s exactly what this goofball wants. He’s an idiot, looking to get on T.V. and in the papers as much as possible. I wouldn’t be surprised if this was all staged so the world could revolve around him for another fifteen minutes.
In my opinion, the dog should be walking Mark Kelly on a leash.

He was only there to save his dog. The onlookers were telling everyone to “KILL THE DOG”. Then someone said the Seal was already dead. Then Kelly showed up and pulled his dog away before someone beat it to death.

Kelly didn’t give a damn about the seal. His only concern was to get his precious dog away from the angry mob.

It's not. My hubby recently was attacked by a pit bull while at the grocery store. No warning. Boom. Just know these dogs are unpredictable and it's odd to see a young girl having this kind of dog that she cannot control nor her father. Now, dead seal.

I HATE that scumbag. No wonder why he was appointed Shuttle commander: NASA had ALREADY been infiltrated by leftist scum. If he were the husband of a Republican Congresswoman, all hell’d be breaking loose on this story.

Too bad somebody didn’t have a Glock in a beach bag. That menace dog should have had his lamp blowed out. A Glock in the hands of a non-liberal like Loughner can sometimes be just what decent people need.

Exactly! Liberals who own Pit Bulls are psychos with weapons OFF THE CHAIN! Shame on these hypocrites!

Excerpt: 'In the 8-year period from 2005 to 2012, pit bulls killed 151 Americans and accounted for 60% of the total recorded deaths (251). Combined, pit bulls and rottweilers accounted for 73% of these deaths.' Learn more at: http://www.DOGSBITE.org

Leave it to a Liberal Gun Control FANATIC to own an off the chain WEAPON, while blaming guns for violence. How many children, elderly, and postal workers must be hurt, disfigured and suffer violent deaths because liberal Pit Bull fanatics own psycho dangerous breeds off the leash, frothing at the mouth to attack, severely injure and kill at a higher rate than any other breed? Does it make these liberals feel important to own demons from hell that kill at random and have jaws that lock and won't let go?

Liberal Gun Control Fanatic Mark Kelly, the husband of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords should be consistant and support the euthanasia of all Pit Bull Dogs instead of blaming guns for violence against children!

06/11/09: 3-Year Old Suffers Devastating Injury Odessa, TX - On June 4, 3-year-old Shaylee Crosson, known as "Shaylee bug," was playing at her grandmother's house near Dallas, Texas. Moments later she was brutally attacked by a neighbor's pit bull. The little girl was rushed to the Dallas Children's Hospital where a team of doctors worked to repair extensive injuries that she suffered. It was reported that 80% percent of her scalp was ripped away in the attack and her little face suffered deep lacerations as well.

The women were pulling the seal as if playing a tug of war with the dog. Won’t work with a pit. That may have done as much damage to the seal as the bite alone. They should have shoved the dogs head under water. Most likely the dog’s instinct to lock it’s bite would have released to get a breath.

I feel safer knowing that police officers in my city shoot loose Pit Bulls on site if they are off the leash. Reading your link just makes me want to shoot one of these bastard dogs myself. 2 weeks ago one was in my backyard, and my gun was inside, or it would have been swiss cheese!

Mark Giffords is a coward and a liar for allowing a live demon weapon murder a protected species baby seal, and walking away without rendering aid to the poor defenseless, innocent dying creature the demon pit bull murdered in cold blood, in public, in front of children.

First, this is an American Bulldog not a Pitbull. Equally as scary if the owner doesn't have control of it. Dogs do what dogs do unless the owner controls the animal.

The daughter obviously couldn't control the dog and it attacked a baby sea lion.

What if the dog had attacked a baby or a small child? The girl could not have controlled it

This ass has no problem letting his daughter walk around with a deadly weapon which actually will, on it's own kill but he has a problem with me owning an inanimate object, a tool, that will only work as I intend it to.

If his daughter had been walking down the beach with an AR 15, which she could control instead of a dog that she couldn't the sea lion would still be alive.

Salamander, Much thanks for your cute reply. I am not in formal mode, and have no interest in impressing you. If you own a dangerous breed dog, expect it to be shot on site when entering my property off leash. Threatening me for neutralizing a threat on my property is foolish on your part.

My high school English teacher used to ask me to tutor students with your particular level of language comprehension, and there were times when I just flat out declined. I have no interest in educating you. Please stay ignorant and let that damned dangerous breed dog off it's leash near me. I'd like to see what else you've got.

Just need to snicker out loud at your cleanup in isle four. Hope you are fine Salamander. I know my oldest child can handle what’s on the other end of the leash because I’ve taught them both. Our dog is doing great for two years old. But I would never let a kid lead her in any potential wildlife encounter. I greatly pity the fool who shoots yours or my dog. Dog Hugs :)
